Based in Hub City, Vic Sage made his mark as an outspoken and aggressive investigative journalist for the news station KBEL. He began to investigate Dr. Arby Twain. Sage was approached by Aristotle Rodor, his former professor, currently a scientist. Rodor told Sage about an artificial skin he had co-developed with Dr. Twain called Pseudoderm. Pseudoderm was intended to work as an applied skin-like bandage but it had unforeseen toxicity which was sometimes fatal when applied to open wounds. Rodor and Twain agreed to abandon the project and but Professor Rodor discovered that Dr. Twain had decided to proceed with an illegal sale of the invention to Third World nations, regardless of the risk to human health. Sage resolved to stop him but had no way of going after Dr. Twain without exposing himself. Rodor suggested that Sage use a mask made of Pseudoderm to cover his famous features. Sage eventually caught up with Dr. Twain, stopping the transaction and extracting a confession. Sage then reported on Dr. Twain's illegal activities. Sage partnered with Professor Rodor and he uses the identity of the Question to get the answers his civilian identity cannot. The Question is primarily focused on the politics of his city, and he tends to fight the corrupt government of Hub City. Hub City is noted as being "synonymous with venality, corruption, and violence", perhaps even surpassing Gotham City as the most dismal city in the DC Universe-version of the US.
